I recently went Crayfish fishing on Lake Naivasha to shoot an episode of Tales From the Bush Larder. One of the highlights of the episode was the absolutely beautiful conditions we experienced on the lake which was like a mirror. It provided a perfect canvas to showcase the crayfish industry on the lake. This was further enhanced by the fact we had a very successful fishing trip and caught a large amount of gorgeous tasty crayfish.
